An interesting thing happened when I was driving to work a few days ago. It was about 9.30 am and I had been warned to leave early and go slow as the roads were icy. Then a car pulled out of a driveway ahead of me and I understood what real slow driving was. A lazy […]
Well 2015 was a bitch, no doubt! I’m so glad and relieved to be out of it and into a sparkling new one – I have a real good feeling about 2016! But, truth be told, that mean-ass year of 2015 made me grow in ways I never would have otherwise. It was the year […]
I’ve been very absent from blogging recently. Life has gotten pretty hectic, it always does coming up to Christmas, but especially if you work in either the retail or hospitality industry.

I have a confession to make! I feel like I may have been really smug in my last two blogs about my daily yoga practice. The morning routine lately has been really hard, a battle with myself to keep my practice going when I least feel like it and by managing to keep it going, I […]
Ooooph, I’m having a hard time these days with my morning yoga practice. Each morning I wake up and I just don’t want to do it…. there’s a heavy weight of resistance sitting on my head as I sleepily go to the loo and brush my teeth. My body feels cumbrous and dull, my mind also, […]
